Are there really people over 80 and under 10 on this site, or are people just clicking shit for the hell of it?

I always vote every option in any poll that you can pick more than one thing.

It's interesting to compare the responses here to those. I especially like the "spike" in users over 60 that mysteriously showed up between then and now.

I'm curious about these (5 as of the posting time) people that are over 90

Also curious about the 13 under 10. Some young geniuses.

I created HN Charts to visualize HN Poll data. Click the following link to see the result of this poll in an easy to read chart: http://hnlike.com/hncharts/chart/?id=5536734

This is nice, and I'm really glad you have both Front Page and Best sections. A link from the chart back to the poll post would be helpful.

Why? Why fuck up the data like that? The thing with HN Polls is you've no way to create polls in which you can select only one option. All you can do is list the options you want included in the poll, nothing else.

On a side note, your personal website is fucking hilarious.

I have a brand-new bridge over the East River for sale, low miles, navigation package included, e-mail on my profile if you're interested.

I have to admit I clicked both my real age and also on 10. Pg needs to fix his polls, because clearly we can't help ourselves.

But not old enough to know that there are new users all the time? ( and maybe old users leave too ) The numbers are going to change every year, and it would be interesting to know how HN users are distributed in terms of age.
